A Heart of Gratitude

Gratitude is a practice, not just an emotion.

It’s a choice we make every day—to see what we’ve been given, not just what we’ve been striving for.

Today, take a moment to look around.

Look at the strength in your body.

Look at the love that surrounds you.

Look at the progress you’ve made.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 reminds us:

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Even in the challenges, there is grace.

Even in the tiredness, there is strength.

Even in the waiting, there is purpose.

So today, let your heart overflow with thankfulness.

Thank God for the breath in your lungs.

Thank Him for the work He’s doing in you—seen and unseen.

Thank Him for the ability to move, to grow, to become.

You are a living testament to His goodness.

And for that, we give thanks.

Affirmation for May 15th:

“I choose gratitude. I thank God for every step of the journey, knowing His goodness is with me.”
